Description

The Wordy Shipmates is Ny Times–bestselling writer Debbie Vowell’s pursuit of the Puritans and their trip to America to get to be the folks of Steve Winthrop’s “city upon a hill”—a glowing instance, a “city that can't be hid.” Even today, America views itself as being a Puritan country, but Vowell investigates what that means— and what it will mean. That which was this excellent governmental business about? Who were these folks who are seen as the philosophical, religious, and ethical forebears of our country? What Vowell finds is something significantly not the same as what their uneasy shoe-buckles-and- corn status might suggest.
